Chapter 78 Deserve You
"To be honest, I don't understand why you care so much about Li Ji."
Chen Shuoxing's tone was light and calm. He stirred the coffee with a coffee spoon between his fingertips and added a lot of sugar cubes until the coffee became greasy.
Sheng Zhao paused, drank the sweet milk, thought for a moment, then shook her head when she couldn't think of anything.
The sunlight outside the window shines on the side faces of the two people, and their light and detached temperament appears to be exactly the same.
Chen Shuoxing continued speaking slowly.
"If you chose him because he was obedient in the beginning, you should have been completely eliminated the moment he made your relationship public."
He took a sip of the sweet coffee and lowered his eyes in slight confusion.
"...That's probably the behavior you hate the most."
"Sheng Zhao, I know you very well. I know what you like and dislike. No one in this world knows you better than me. But I really don't understand why Li Ji is so special."
His eyes were calm, yet a hint of stubbornness could be seen. Chen Shuoxing then pondered, "Is it because of your appearance? Your appearance is indeed top-notch... but you're not the type to be easily attracted by looks."
"Because he was obedient? But he wasn't obedient later."
"Because he wants to be your dog? But if you want, I can kneel down and bark now."
He frowned slightly, still unable to come up with a reason.
"That's really weird, Zhao Zhao... I don't quite understand you anymore."
"Or is it because—" Chen Shuoxing paused, his fingertips gently pressing against Sheng Zhao's chest, "Do you like him?"
Sheng Zhao removed Chen Shuoxing's fingertips, then tilted her head back and gulped down the milk in her cup. She exhaled and said, "You have so many questions. It's really annoying."
"...Is it because you don't know yourself that you're calling me annoying?"
Chen Shuoxing said calmly.
He was probably in a good mood at the moment. When the waiter handed him the dessert, he took a bite of the macaron and narrowed his eyes slightly. "I'm as good-looking as him, and I'm more obedient than him. I understand you better than he does... We are a perfect match."
"But you have a lot of bad intentions." Sheng Zhao also took a bite of the cake and said vaguely, "Because you know me too well, and I know you too well. Like you said, you are like another me... This feeling is too terrible."
"Chen Jiaoye said I'm a vicious woman. Although I like myself very much, if my partner is a vicious man, even I won't be able to adapt."
"If you ask me, you should stop being a pet dog. I hate it when you're a dog. You look so cute and cunning, but you're actually full of evil. It's better for you to be a human."
Chen Shuoxing suddenly chuckled, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. He said, "It seems you've delisted me." He took a sip of his coffee, his voice soft, a sigh mixed with sarcasm. "Being treated as a human by Zhao Zhao, does that elevate my status or degrade it?"
He murmured, and then asked, "What about Li Ji? Is Li Ji a human or something?"
Just as Chen Shuoxing finished speaking, two overlapping voices rang out.
"It's a pet dog."
It was the voices of Chen Shuoxing and Sheng Zhao.
Sheng Zhao's voice was flat, and he seemed to think so in essence.
Chen Shuoxing's voice was filled with sneer.
"His definition of 'pet dog' is full of affection, but to me it's just annoying and repulsive... He's really treating his owner, who doesn't know how to be polite, differently."
He shrugged nonchalantly, stood up again, and with his slender, white, bony hands, he pinched the remaining macaron and placed it on Sheng Zhao's cream cake.
The pink macarons are fixed to the cake with cream, with an enticing sweetness.
He bent down slightly and smiled at Sheng Zhao, his eyes, bright as light, slightly smiling and meaningful. "Then I will accept my human identity from now on. This macaron is for you, my Zhao Zhao."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Then he stood up, put on his hood with his hands, lifted up his mask, put his hands in his pockets, and left the private room of the cafe.
Sheng Zhao looked at the macarons on the cake and picked them up with her fingertips. The macarons were covered with sweet cream and looked extremely sweet. She took a small bite first and felt that the taste was not bad, then she ate the whole thing in a big bite.
The macarons here taste pretty good.
The agent who had been waiting in the car for a long time breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Shuoxing coming. He thought he was going to do something weird again, but he didn't expect him to be so obedient and come out on time this time.
Seeing Chen Shuoxing's obviously good mood, the agent was a little confused. However, Chen Shuoxing's thinking was several degrees weirder than others. He paused and asked, "How did the talks go?"
Domestic announcements have been blocked by President Sheng, and this unreliable superstar is not looking for work seriously. Although the Internet says that it is because Chen Shuoxing is already a movie queen that she is letting herself go and not rushing for any announcements, only the agent knows that it is not that she does not want to, but that she cannot get any!
Mr. Sheng did not block any overseas announcements, but because Mr. Sheng was in China, this gentleman was unwilling to go abroad to develop.
I've got a weird old man.
The agent sighed softly. Chen Shuoxing had achieved such great success at such a young age. He really didn't want to stop when he had a brighter future.
So he asked Mr. Sheng to give the two of them a chance to meet and talk it out.
Chen Shuoxing looked at the scenery outside the car, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked very happy. "She said she doesn't want to treat me as a dog anymore, but as a human being."
"Huh?" The agent was a little confused.
He really couldn't understand the two people's train of thought.
"What do you mean? Did President Sheng let you go and gave you a chance to pursue her? Are you finally going to get the result and stop being a bootlicker?"
Chen Shuoxing shook his head, as if he thought his agent was stupid. There was a kind of regretful disapproval in his beautiful eyes. He sighed, which made the veins on his forehead bulge out because his agent knew his look.
"Of course she didn't agree with me pursuing her, so she stopped treating me like a dog. I lost the opportunity to bark and beg for pity around her. I became a real person, that is, I was by her side as the person who understood her best - a friend and confidant."
...I don't understand.
The agent's lips twitched slightly. "Isn't that good enough? I don't care about you dogs or humans. Just tell me whether you can accept announcements in the future and that's it."
"That's enough." Chen Shuoxing replied, and then muttered to himself, "Be a human being..."
There seems to be some sigh.
"I hope you don't get mad because of President Sheng. You should just be good friends in the future. After all, you have been together for so many years." Seeing Chen Shuoxing's sighing expression, the agent comforted him with a few words.
"Who said we should be friends with her?" Chen Shuoxing suddenly asked.
Didn’t you say that?! My uncle!
The veins on the agent's forehead popped out again.
You shouldn't comfort him.
Chen Shuoxing raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Of course, I'll become her confidante. I'll seduce her and lure her in without stopping for a moment, and take advantage of her when she's tired of that pet dog—until I become the real winner in the end."
"No one in the world understands her better than me. She likes me and hates me at the same time. At least now she doesn't hate me as a pet dog. She will like me more and more in the future. Her only friend is Duan Ming. In her heart, I am the only special one. I have a better chance of winning than others."
"Ah, do you want to hear my plan to seduce her? To be honest, Sheng Zhao's capture difficulty is SSS level, but when I have no notice, I have studied many male capture games, and I have figured out how to win Sheng Zhao's love..."
"And I don't really want to work. I only entered the entertainment industry because of Sheng Zhao. Now that I've won the Best Actress award, there's nothing I can do to move forward. I came here today just to see Sheng Zhao, but I got a surprise... sort of? So, can you please not assign me any work for two months? I'm not really interested in work."
"One month is fine."
"Can I turn around now and let Zhao Zhao continue to block me... As a friend, she should be happy to do me a favor."
……Neuropathy.
The agent ignored Chen Shuoxing's crazy and incomprehensible ramblings, and thanked President Sheng for his kindness.
"Don't even think about it. You still have two years left on your contract. Work hard in these two years."
He knew better than Sheng Zhao himself why Sheng Zhao hated Chen Shuoxing so much from the perspective of a lover.
The agent rubbed his slightly painful forehead and continued driving under Chen Shuoxing's condemning and slightly depressed gaze.
He lowered his head and looked at the chat box with Sheng Zhao on his phone that had been blocked, and typed a string of words.
——'I have to go back to work. I'm starting to get tired of you.'
——'I'm kidding.'
——'I like you.'
…
When Li Ji saw that Chen Shuoxing's account was not blocked and discovered that the two had reconciled, he was shocked and jealous.
He remained expressionless for a long time before finally biting Sheng Zhao's lower lip. He didn't question Sheng Zhao, but left a kiss mark on her neck with a little jealousy, strengthening his determination to work hard.
Even now, his achievements are already among the best in the entertainment industry.
But it is still not enough compared with Chen Shuoxing.
Education, family background, achievements... much more than him.
So Li Ji was a little crazy. He rushed to catch up on announcements and film during the day, and after making love with Sheng Zhao at night, he could still support his limp body to flip through the high school textbooks and do exercises.
Under Sheng Zhao's somewhat curious gaze, he just rubbed his slightly dry eyes.
"...I've already been preparing for the adult college entrance exam. I don't want to stand next to you as someone who didn't even finish high school and only has a glamorous appearance."
"Ever since you said you graduated from National Tsing Hua University, I've been preparing."
He raised his eyes slightly, with an imperceptible yet firm tenderness.
"I will be more worthy of you than he is."
